Z9X Pro Stuttering is BACK and even stronger

Hello,

For some reason the stuttering started occurring again on all 3 LOTR movies. However this time it does for TrueHD, DTS and AC3 tracks as well.. this seems to suggest that the issue wont be with the audio itself now. For couple of seconds movie plays fine but then the picture starts lagging and audio is skipping like crazy.. sometimes there isn't audio for 5 seconds and video lags as well. This happens for all 3 audio formats.

Tried via plex or emby within zidoo but they still can't handle TrueHD..

I'm still on v1.0.75G version and didn't alter anything in configuration.

Audio Tab
HDMI audio: RAW
SPDIF audio: off
Downmix HD Audio output: off
Native sampling rate: auto

Playback Tab
Auto frame rate: match frame rate and resolution
Frame rate pause: off

Everything else is default.

Network connection is gigabit and wired.

Any suggestion what it might be? I really didn't touch the config since January/February and it just started having this problems..

Thanks a lot.

Uploaded an cam video where you can see my settings and stuttering on all 3 audio tracks:

Can't explain why this would suddenly happen - the answer of course is that it can't without some change in parameters, whether internal or external. But it looks like an HDMI bandwidth issue.

Try changing Color Settings for 4K 23-30Hz and Non-4K to Priority YUV422 12Bit and let me know if that changes anything.

 

Hey. Configured as you said and it didn't change a thing..

 

So probably not to do with HDMI then. Something must have changed somewhere though. No IP conflicts?

 

I found the problem. It's my local gigabit switch.. it needed a reboot.. have it 6 years and something like this happened 2nd time. Anyway thanks for your time here..

 

Awesome.

 

Somebody is making jokes from me here.. Yesterday I was checking for "good" 10 minutes and didn't find any passage in LOTR 1 which would stutter.. This morning I put a LOTR 2 and again stuttering like before.. I go reboot the switch again and it didnt help.. Eventually I found out my RAID array started "rechecking" itself which significantly affects the reading speeds as well.. It is going to recheck for another 20 hours so will report tomorrow if all good for good! Thanks!

 

All good. I confirm everything is back to normal as before.. it was Network issue first time and 2nd time RAID array rechecking.. Thanks!
